"I have 2 cats and a Roborock Q8 Max+ and it has no issues getting all the hair. ... My Roborock has zero issues getting all the pet hair and they don't get tangled up in it either? I have two cats that shed a LOT."
"it does an excellent job getting up the dust and hair that my three dogs (one long haired German shepherd) bring it."
"No tangles in the rollers so far even with toy stuffing and string the dog destroys and long pet fur and my fiancee's long hair."

"it has obstacle avoidance ... I was susprised how good it is even compared to much more expensive S8."
"I would buy any Roborock with Lidar before any Roomba without because of the superior navigation. ... I'm on my 4th Roborock The S4 Max. Q5 Pro, Q8 Max and Qrevo Pro which all have lidar navigation and none has ever failed."
"It maps very well ... The software is top tier though, it maps and doesn’t fall down stairs and didn’t need help finding all of the rooms."

"it’s nice watching the Roborock delicately approach a piece of furniture and stop 1/2” away."

"best vacuuming particularly if you pair it with an auto empty dock"
"same criteria as you"
"The second one I got was self emptying so it can continue all by itself and I really appreciate it. I only have to empty the main basin once a week and that's it. Super convenient"

"I have the Roborock 8 and it's vacuuming since two years two times a day and it still works like a charm ... I don't notice any performance loss."
"best vacuuming particularly if you pair it with an auto empty dock"
"does a fantastic job cleaning. ... I used to vacuum at least twice a day to stay on top of the hair. Now I do a "deep" vacuum once a week- baseboards, under carpets, etc."

"it does not raise it when it goes over carpets and it will wet and dirty the carpet"
"The self mopping feature imo is not worth it"
"It becomes velcro on carpet when the robot tries to back out of an obstruction"

"that sumbitch craves toy mice. ... Nothing can sate its bottomless appetite for cat toys. ... it refuses to avoid the cat toys."
"I’ve noticed my Qrevo Master detects better than my previous Q8 Max+ or Qrevo Pro ... it still hardly detects cables at all. ... I have a corner with a pile of cables (just moved and still need to hide them) prime for the detecting that it has never noticed ... I’ve forgotten my phone charger cords on a rug next to my couch a couple times and it’s never detected those either."
"câble it can't avoid them"

"for straight vacuum and suction power the neato is better. ... Before I had a neato bot vac and dir just vacuuming the neato is far superior. That did a way better job of throughly heavy duty vacuuming, when I had that vacuum I had 3 German shepherds and a black lab so I definitely needed a ton of suction and power that didn’t clog, get tangled etc."
"fluff, loose fluffy bits from socks/ugg boots seen to stay on the carpet"
"Carpet not so much."
